Hello Terri!Lovely tea cup and I liked your first photo a lot! What a pity the broken plates. Don't matter. Here it's fashionable to mismatch sets, you can try.Besos from Argentina and thanks for hosting!

Oh, Terri! I'm sorry too about the plate being broken. Did you get cut on it? That was a strange place for the mail carrier to leave the box...but what about your hubby?? Did he get in any trouble for driving over it?? :)

Hi Terri, So sorry about your teacup saucer, mix match is good, you know glass half full type of gal I am. Gee I hope you hand is okay, I was more worried about that. Take care of yourself, Hugs Marilou

Hi Terri,what a pitty, the saucer cracked. This set is so nice. I don't know why you can't buy Epsom salt in UK in larger quantities. Here we use it mostly for plants in the garden. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tea cup and for hosting this nice event.Best greetings, Johanna

Dear Terri, what a terrible accident! A series of events led to the tragic fatal crash! However, it is nice your idea to recycle the cup :-)I think the only reason why the Epsom salt is sold in small quantities, here in Europe, and especially in pharmacy, is to increase its prestige and its price!When my mom was a child, in the Forties, it was not used for the bathroom, but alas, as a laxative, so here has been synonymous with something terrible ;-)Mini lovely hugsFlora

Oh, Terri, I am sorry that you now have to do everything with one hand. I do hope you heal soon. The pattern of your tea cup is very beautiful and am glad that you can still put her to good use. I think I would have to talk to the mail lady about where she should leave packages in the future. Too bad about this lovely set.As for Epsom Salts being sold over the counter; it is considered as a drug. You can use it in your bath and it's loaded with magnesium, and very relaxing, but they must have had too many cases of mis-use in some way to be put behind the counter. Epsom Salts is good to relax blood vessels and can lower blood pressure. It's good for someone with high blood pressure or hypertension, but lowering the blood pressure too much can lead to hypotension and cause medical complications like dizziness and shock. Or if someone is using it as a laxative can cause gastrointestinal problems like vomiting and severe diarrhea which these can cause sever dehydration. Some have had allergic reactions and some have really actually OVERDOSED to where it can be so severe that an individual becomes comatose. Although it can be used for a relaxing bath, still be careful in it's use. It's great for exfoliating and should be good on that injured arm.Here's to your heath!Brenda

That's too bad it broke but there is always a use for a beautiful tea-cup. I often mis-match cups and saucers just to have some fun with them. Sometimes I like the look even better. Thanks for the party. Always enjoy being part of it. Hugs, Deb

hope you're healed quickly-no fun using only one hand :(. What a shame about your beautiful tea cup saucer but you have found such a lovely way to display and use your cup. Thank you also for your sweet comments on my blog-much appreciated!

Dear Terri,I found the Epson salt in a Danish welness web shop, where I can buy one and a half kg. in a container- for 17 dollars-- I don`t know about this salt ,just wanted to check, when you wrote that about England! Is that also a small portion compared with what you can buy ?Love your yellow cup, even without saucer...sorry it broke for you!Hugs,Dorthe

So sorry to learn of your accident. I hope you will heal quickly and be back to your old self in no time. That broken saucer would look lovely sticking out of the dirt in your flower garden, or in a potted plant as a backdrop. And there's always mosaics to make. Or perhaps it will find a home in a piece of altered art. Oh, the possibilities for broken bits of crockery are endless!

Dear TerryI don´t know why my image don´t appears in your link and yesterday I couldn´t send my comment as the window didn´t openYour yelloow tea cup is very pretty and she has a story to tellI hope you get well with your handLove

So very beautiful..even broken..silly postman!Gorgeous yellow..so uplifting! I use epsom salts too and we can buy them here in Canada in large amounts or in big milk cartons. Interesting story!!Yes perfect for your cup!! Enjoy my friend!Victoria

That's so funny you should post that. Just yesterday we saw the postman throw a little package at my neighbors house like it was a bowling ball. We were stunned! The cup is such a happy color. Maybe you can use the plate as a mosaic project. You're so clever. I'm sure you already figured something out.hugs,Caroline

I saw a very neat thing the other day, if you still have the pieces of your plate, and havent tried to repair it, and it's "junk" - you can make cute jewelry out of it, or ask someone too. Try to find those on pinterest or google and you'll really enjoy it. from - Tea Lover
